The proposed Portland Botanical Gardens has taken a major step forward, landing an option to buy a 59-acre North Portland Superfund site along the Willamette River.
The purchase and sale agreement gives the nonprofit organization, formed in 2020, a year to finalize a deal for the former site of the McCormick & Baxter creosote plant situated between Metro’s Willamette Cove property and the University of Portland’s Franz River campus.
